Infrastructure changes are manual and risky
Environments drift, releases depend on individuals, and recovery procedures are undocumented or untested.
Cloud architecture, migration, platform engineering, CI/CD, Kubernetes, security, and reliability
Cloud and DevOps
Cloud and delivery platforms engineered for repeatable releases, resilient operation, security, visibility, and controlled cost.
Capability / 01
Built around the operating outcome.
Rokad designs, builds, migrates, and operates cloud platforms across infrastructure, networking, identity, deployment, containers, Kubernetes, observability, security, backup, recovery, and developer enablement. The objective is not infrastructure for its own sake, but a dependable operating system for software and teams.
01
Cloud strategy, landing zones, architecture, and migration
02
Platform engineering and developer self-service
03
CI/CD, release automation, environments, and infrastructure as code
04
Containers, Kubernetes, service networking, and workload operations
05
DevSecOps, identity, secrets, policy, vulnerability, and supply-chain controls
06

When to engage / 02
Built for material technology and operating constraints.
Cloud growth increases cost without improving reliability
Teams add services and capacity without clear ownership, measurement, architecture standards, or financial controls.
Developers wait on operational bottlenecks
Provisioning, access, deployments, diagnostics, and production changes require repeated manual coordination.
Service scope / 03
From decision through production operation.
Assessment and target platform
Review architecture, workloads, delivery, security, reliability, cost, skills, and operational constraints before defining the target state.
Platform implementation
Build cloud foundations, networks, identity, infrastructure code, pipelines, observability, policy, backup, and service interfaces.
Migration and operation
Move workloads safely, validate service objectives, establish runbooks and ownership, and continuously improve the platform.
Specialisations / 04
Choose the solution closest to the buying requirement.
01
Cloud migration
Assessment, landing zones, migration waves, data movement, cutover, validation, and operational transition.
02
Platform engineering
Internal platforms, golden paths, self-service, templates, developer experience, and platform product operations.
03
CI/CD engineering
Automated build, test, security, deployment, promotion, approval, rollback, and release evidence.
04
Kubernetes services
Cluster architecture, workload migration, networking, policy, observability, upgrades, and managed operation.
05
DevSecOps
Security integrated into source, build, artefact, deployment, infrastructure, identity, and runtime workflows.
06
Site reliability engineering
Service objectives, observability, incident response, capacity, resilience, recovery, and reliability improvement.
07
Cloud platform engineering
Rokad designs, builds, migrates, secures, and operates production cloud platforms across AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Cloudflare.
Use cases / 02
Where this capability creates leverage.
Engagements are structured around measurable technical, operational, product, or commercial outcomes.
Migrate production workloads to cloud
Move applications and data through assessed waves with landing zones, controls, rehearsals, and rollback planning.
Build an internal developer platform
Standardise environments, services, deployments, observability, access, and golden paths through self-service interfaces.
Stabilise release and infrastructure operations
Replace manual deployments and inconsistent environments with automation, testing, telemetry, and controlled change.
Improve reliability and cloud economics
Connect service objectives, capacity, incidents, architecture, utilisation, commitments, and ownership to cost outcomes.
Engineering standards / 05
Production quality is not a later phase.
Secure by design
Identity, permissions, secrets, networks, data boundaries, dependencies, change controls, and recovery are addressed throughout delivery.
Observable operation
Metrics, logs, traces, data quality, costs, failures, capacity, and service outcomes are made visible and actionable.
Automated and reproducible
Infrastructure, pipelines, configuration, tests, deployment, and recovery procedures are versioned and repeatable wherever practical.
Delivery / 03
A controlled path from decision to operation.
Begin with one phase or cover the complete lifecycle under one accountable team.
Discover
Clarify objectives, users, systems, data, constraints, dependencies, risk, and measurable acceptance criteria.
Architect
Define the target system, operating model, security controls, migration sequence, and ownership before implementation.
Deliver and validate
Implement in controlled increments with testing, review, documentation, observability, and stakeholder validation.
Operate and improve
Establish production ownership, service controls, measurement, support, and a continuous improvement backlog.
Typical deliverables

Assessment and roadmap
A bounded current-state review, target architecture, prioritised risks, and executable transformation plan.
Fixed-scope implementation
A defined platform, migration, pipeline, or reliability outcome with explicit milestones and acceptance criteria.
Embedded platform team
Specialists working with internal engineering, data, security, and operations teams over an evolving roadmap.
Managed operation
Ongoing ownership of production infrastructure, data platforms, reliability, security, cost, and improvement.
Related services / 07

FAQ
Questions about cloud and devops.
Scope, ownership, assumptions, and delivery are clarified before work begins.
01Can Rokad work across more than one cloud provider?
Can Rokad work across more than one cloud provider?
Yes. We can design single-cloud, multi-cloud, hybrid, and provider-neutral operating patterns where the business, regulatory, availability, or commercial requirements justify the complexity.
02Do you use infrastructure as code?
Do you use infrastructure as code?
Yes, wherever practical. Infrastructure, policy, configuration, environments, and deployment workflows are versioned, reviewed, tested, and reproducible.
03Can you take over an existing cloud environment?
Can you take over an existing cloud environment?
Yes. We begin with access, architecture, inventory, security, cost, deployment, observability, backup, recovery, and ownership assessment before controlled handover.
04Do you provide ongoing cloud and DevOps management?
Do you provide ongoing cloud and DevOps management?
Yes. Managed services can cover infrastructure, deployments, monitoring, incidents, security, backup, cost, upgrades, capacity, and service reporting.
